I have just returned from visiting my friends in the French Alps. Whilst there, we went skiing. Now, I can honestly say that I am not very good at all. This was only the second time in my life I have done so. But, after much practice (and falling over) I managed to get better as the day progressed, as can be seen here.
I took the ST1000 with me to the slopes as this shoots video as well as fantastic quality photos. I have never really taken photos in the snow before, so I set the camera to automatic and let it do the hard work of exposure metering, white balance and shutter speed. I was very impressed.
On the way back home, I had a few hours to spend in Geneva where I met up with another friend. We took a walk around the edge of Lake Geneva and were totally surprised at the ice that was caused from the windy weather the night before. The wind had whipped up the lake and the waves had crashed onto the banks, freezing almost immediately.
